MAINTENANCE

Notes for Cleaning

• When removing a shelf or drawer from inside

the appliance, remove all stored foods from the

shelf or drawer to prevent injury or damage to

the appliance.

−

Otherwise, injury may occur due to the

weight of stored foods.

• If cleaning the outside air vents of the appliance

by means of vacuuming, then the power cord

should be unplugged from the outlet to avoid

any static discharge that can damage the

electronics or cause an electric shock.

• Detach the shelves and drawers and clean

them with water, and then dry them sufficiently,

before replacing them.

• Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a wet soft

towel.

• Door basket spills and stains should be cleaned

as they can compromise storage ability of the

basket and could even be damaged.

• After cleaning, check if the power cable is

damaged, warm or improperly plugged.

• Keep the air vents on the exterior of the

appliance clean.

−

Blocked air vents can cause fire or appliance

damage.

• Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps

provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic

parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least

twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste

wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

• When cleaning the inside or outside of the

appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,

toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not

use cleaning agents containing flammable

substances.

−

This may cause discoloration or damage to

the appliance.

−

Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,

methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,

etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable

liquid, abrasive, etc.

• For the appliance exterior, use a clean sponge

or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm

water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

• Never clean the shelves or containers in the

dishwasher.

−

The parts may become deformed due to the

heat.

• If the appliance is equipped with an LED lamp,

do not remove lamp cover and LED lamp in any

attempt to repair or service it. Please, contact

the LG Electronics customer information

centre.
